Often seen joking with one another in their downtime, these soldiers could even exert a level of free will that ran counter to their genetic conditioning. Clone troopers frequently displayed their individual personalities, as well. Their faces were identical, yet clones often distinguished themselves with facial tattoos and unique hairstyles.īy the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic’s forces had customized armor designs tailored to specific soldiers and units. On the other hand, clone troopers were afforded the luxury of removing their helmets, even in the midst of battle campaigns. Imperial stormtroopers were also faceless warriors, their identities masked by helmets. In fact, stormtroopers of the First Order are not even allowed to remove their helmets without permission from their superiors. Some First Order soldiers do have nicknames, but the formal nature of the organization requires their numbers to be used on duty.
The real names of Imperial recruits were also replaced with serial numbers, while First Order stormtroopers never know of any name other than their own numerical classification. Clone troopers were assigned designation numbers, but each soldier quickly picked up a nickname that became their primary source of identification. In another strange twist of fate, the Republic’s legions of clone troopers displayed the highest level of individuality of the three organizations. By default, the oppressive Imperial regime ironically had the fairest program with its use of voluntary recruits. The First Order’s enlistment tactics were similar to the Republic’s breeding programs in that they were morally questionable, except the First Order resorted to identifying potential soldiers and stealing them from their families at a very young age. While the initial army of Imperial stormtroopers was originally comprised of former clone troopers, the Empire gradually phased in human recruits who eventually became the core of its fighting force. While all three entities filled their ranks with humans, the Republic obviously did so with human clones who had their aging accelerated and were trained from birth on Kamino. However, the Republic’s clone troopers, the Empire’s stormtroopers, and the First Order’s stormtroopers have their own unique attributes, with various levels of disparity existing in their recruitment processes, training procedures, levels of conformity, and the images they project to citizens living in the territories that they control. This is no coincidence, as each generation of combat forces influenced the battle dress of its successor. A military filled with well-trained soldiers in white armor is a common trait shared by the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, and First Order.
